Overall, one-third of women in developing countries have given birth by the age of 20 - from 8% in East Asia to 55% in West Africa. Analysis of the latest and highest quality data from the government statistics of various national or international studies shows that in poor countries the complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death among girls aged 15 to 19 .

Nine of the most dangerous 10 countries are located in sub-Saharan Africa, with Niger, Liberia and Mali being the dominant. Countries with high risk scores in areas other than Africa, such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Haiti, Nepal, Nicaragua, Yemen

In the top 10 countries with the highest risk, more than 1 out of 6 girls aged 15 to 19 give birth every year, and 1 in 7 of these young people died before 1 year of age. This ranking is based on the marriage and birth rate of girls in each country, and the infant mortality rate of children who are mothers of their teenage mothers.

The risk of maternal mortality in Niger is one seventh (the lowest rank), but the lowest risk country is one-nineteen in Sweden.
